POP Client Proxy
----------------
Key: JBMAIL-46
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMAIL-46
Project: JBoss Mail
Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Andrew Oliver
Assigned to: Andrew Oliver
The POP client proxy mimic's a real POP Server however it translates the
requests into the HTTP requests expected by:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMAIL-42
Expectations:
1. It issues the http://servername/POP/CONNECT on initial connection from the
client and returns the greeting from HTTP Pop proxy which in turn is just
returning the real server's greeting. From then on the jsessionid is
associated with THIS connection to the client.
2. It hangs up on the client if it gets an invalid session from the server
(avoid having to smartly implement the protocols to reconnect to a return to
state and leave it up to the client to do that).
3. Server proxy is "locked down" to connect to only one host or set of hosts
(so you can't use this to launch a distributed denial of service attack against
a third party, sorry)
Possiblities:
1. Could be a protocol implementation for JBoss Mail's framework that simply
uses something like Jakarta Commons HTTPClient to issue commands to the server
proxy. Thus you run parts of JBoss AS and JBMailServer on client and server.
2. This could be dumbly implemented to support ANY protocol if some
standardization on the SERVER Proxy and Client Proxy can be thought of.
